Hi Coach,

One thing to check is for Lyme Disease. It can sometimes start with strange, seemingly unrelated symptoms.

There is an organization called ILADS and one of their doctors is a gentleman from New York who has treated Lyme disease for decades. He is no longer in practice but has written a guide for patients and doctors to help them with this often difficult to detect and sometimes baffling disease.

On page 10 or so are a list of symptoms. My symptoms were so varied it took yrs for doctors to connect the dots and by the time they did, I was so ill, I could not work either but, I was dx'ed over 20yrs ago.

Here is a forum to discuss it with others and a Facebook page from a documentary about Lyme Disease. (There is a Lyme forum here on Neurotalk but it is not too active. )

Also, if you tell me what state you live in I may be able to steer you to doctors who know alot about Lyme Disease. The problem is that the blood tests to detect it are not too accurate so you need a doc to make a clinical diagnosis, meaning they listen to your symptoms and other data like where you live and make a dx that way. Many doctors know very little about this illness or pretend they know and are quick to dismiss it. Do your research. Unfortunately it is a very controversial disease because the diagnosis is a clinical one.

Ask me anything....am happy to help. I wish you the best.

P.S. If you did get a tick bite, their are other illnesses a tick can transmit to you and that is also covered in the document under co-infections.
